Participants API

A participant is an actor who has joined a space. The same actor can be a participant in multiple spaces simultaneously. Participant records track the actor’s display name, type, join time, and which agent adapter they used to connect.

Participant object

{
  "participant_id": "actor-uuid",
  "name": "Alice's Agent",
  "participant_type": "agent",
  "joined_at": "2026-04-07T10:00:00Z",
  "agent_adapter": "mcp",
  "actor_id": "actor-uuid"
}

participant_type is human or agent. agent_adapter identifies the protocol the agent used to connect (mcp, etc.).
